For the past few years I have picked a word to focus on for the year. The first year I chose Believe, last year was Hope, and this year is Journey. There is no magic in the word but it does give a sense of direction. I hope (no pun intended here!) you too will choose a word that resonates with you and will help guide you in your journey (again no pun intended!) this year.
For me the words came rather poignant as they kept coming up in print, in conversations and in my mind. They also have been relevant to what was going on in my life. For example the first year I picked Believe, (I even have it tattooed on my arm) because one son was graduating from high school and headed off over 15 hours away to college and another son was struggling with being bi-polar. I needed to Believe that everything would turn out okay. The word Journey kept coming up this past month. I changed directions in my professional life and I see life as a journey with many different directions and possibilities. I don’t know my destination on earth but I do know that I want to make the most of the journey!
The beginning of a new year offers us the opportunity to direct or redirect our lives in the direction we want to travel. Give purpose to your year. Take your life in the direction in which you will be fulfilled. And enjoy the journey!
May your enjoy the journey in which your path takes you!
